We spent 3 days in El Salvador.
We arrived at night in the capital : San Salvador. There we found easily a hotel and food (Usually in Central America, people don’t really have dinner).
Next day we visited the city center which is a very popular place (see the picture of the church El Rosario above). Some salvadorians from the upper class even find it dangerous! But you should not be afraid to go there. In fact the civil war which happened 20 years ago but it is still in every mind. There are armed security guards everywhere (even in front of some bakeries!). And many people are afraid to go in the street in the night (the sunset is at about 6pm!).
In San Salvador we have tested the couchsurfing. The website www.couchsurfing. org help people to take contact so that they can offer or look for a couch for one or more nights. It is also a great manner to meet local people and learn a lot about the visited country.
Our host was called Raul. He hosted us for two nights in his house. We also got out with him during which we went to a progressive rock concert. We discussed a lot about El Salvador and also about Raul’s travels! Last but not least he gave the chance to see a little of the Salvador we could not have seen by ourself !
Une premiere experience vraiment sympa et qui donne envie de recommencer.
We could not leave El Salvador without seeing the Pacific coast. Thus we went to one of the most well-known surf beach of the world! We wanted to get some lessons but it was so expensive we could not! That’s why we just rent a body board and had fun with it!
El Salvador is a very beautiful country and there are so much to see and do we could have spend there several weeks more!
Encore une photo magnifique, je parle de celle où on ne vous voit pas ! J’entends presque le bruit des vagues dans un coquillage rien qu’en la regardant… Je suis très heureuse de constater que vous semblez aller bien et que vous continuez à faire des rencontres humaines chaleureuses qui vous conduisent là où les gens vivent vraiment. Mais je suis sur ma faim de sons. Faut dire que le “monde du silence” ne s’y prête pas…
Question humidité nous ne sommes pas en reste à Paris aujourd’hui.
Mais ne dit-on pas “manif pluvieuse, manif heureuse” ?
Avec plein de baisers.
salut!

@Brigitte: nousa vons en boutique des cris d oiseau, le bruit des vagues, un concert de musique traditionnel mexicaine et un concert de rock progressif du Salvadir, etc. D’ailleur, ls recifs de coraux font des bruits de craquement
